Tumble into some good feelings

Drumroll please… The NSVRC has burst onto the scene on with a new online presence, welcoming a Tumblr blog to the social media lineup. The new Tumblr, lovingly titled “Feel Good.” has been deemed the place to be for all things healing. Feel Good is a place for content about trauma coupled with the triumph of the human spirit. We’re striving to make this online space a true sanctuary. Our hope is that everything posted to Tumblr will be trauma-informed, promote self and community care, and never need a trauma notice or trigger warning.

Just to give you a little sneak peek into what’s been posted so far, we’ve launched on an enthusiastic reminder that play is a source of renewal. I’m totally loving the artistic and deep reflections of a poet who reminds us that we can enjoy our own company. For the geeky, science loving healers among us (ooh, ooh, pick me!), settle into a good read on the healing properties of tears.

Finally, my personal favorite is the recent post about the cutest mountain climber you will ever see! Little miss strawberry shortcake is the embodiment of strength, triumph, and tenacity. She reminds us that every day is a day when you will probably do something amazing. I hope that you will take the time to reflect on the good that you will do today, celebrate your victories, and know that the world is a better place because you are in it.
